CONTAINER.

Application filed October 25, 1927. Serial N0. 228,537.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a container.

One object of the invention is to provide a container of the. character described specially designed for the purpose of holding, soap and similar articles.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of the character described equipped with means for attaching the container to the margin of a bath tub or wash basin, said attaching means being foldable so as to be out of the way, so that the container can be readily packed and will not occupy unnecessary space.

A further feature of the invention is to provide a container of the character described having a removable top for protecting the contents of the container, and having a perforated bottom for drainage purposes, and provided with a removable supporting bracket by means of which the contents of the container may be readily lifted out.

'With the above and other objects in view this invention has particular relation to certain novel features of construction, oper ation and arrangement of parts an example of which is given in this specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 shows a side view of the container as attached to a bath tub, and with the cover removed.

Figure 2 shows a perspective view thereof,

Figure 3 shows a plan view thereof, with the cover removed.

Figure 4: shows a side view of the container showing the hanger in folded position.

Figure 5 shows a vertical sectional view taken on the line 55 of Figure 3, and

Figure 6 shows a bottom plan view.

Referring now more particularly to the drawings, wherein like numerals of reference designate similar parts in each of the figures the numeral 1 designates the body of the container, of box-like contour and having the perforated bottom 2 for drainage purposes.

There is an inverted cup like cover 3 re movably fitted over the top of the body 1.

There is a. bifurcated bracket 4., having the spaced legs 5, 5 which embrace the lengthwise partition 6 which separates the body 1 into two chambers, and the lower end of each leg 5 carries an outwardly extending bracket 4 may be lifted out for gaining access to such articles.

There is a U-shapedhanger 10 the free ends of whose-arms are pivoted to opposite sides of the body 1 and this hanger is bent into a substantially right angular form, as

shown, so that when in one position it may be engaged over the margin of a bath tub or wash basin tosupport the container, and

when in another position, will be folded up closely against the container and will not occupy unnecessary space when it is desired to pack the container in a suit case, hand bag or the like.

l Vhile I have shown what I now consider the preferred form of the invention it is obvious that mechanical changes. may be made therein and equivalents substituted for the parts shown and I hereby reserve the right to make such mechanical changes as may be found practical, or desirable so long as I do not depart from the principle of the invention as comprehended within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is 1. A device of the character described comprising a box like container having a perforated bottom, a vertical partition therein, a bifurcated bracket having spaced legs which closely embrace and are supported by said partition, a flat horizontally disposed support carried by the lower end of each leg, said supports being open on three sides to expose objects placed thereon, and being spaced above the bottom of the container and being sustained solely by said legs, an upstanding handle carried by the bracket, a cap like cover fitted onto the container and inolosing said bracket and handle.

2. A device of the character described comprising a box like container, a vertical partition therein, a bifurcated bracket having spaced legs which closely embrace and are supported by said partition, 2 flat horizontally disposed support carried by the 1oWer endof eablnleg, said supports being spaced--9cb0ve the bottom of the container and being sustained. solely by said legs; said supports being adapted to sustain solidobjects and being formed to expose said objects on the sides and to render them accessible when the bracket is elevated above the container top and an upstanding handle 10 cari-ied by the bracket.

lntestilnony whereof I have signed my 11211116 60 this specification.
